AutoWarrantyReviews.com – Auto warranty reviews authority (AWR) when it comes to automotive warranty companies and trusted source for those seeking a quality car warranty, is making shoppers aware of a new California bill that would impact vehicle warranty reimbursements for dealers, among other factors. The California legislature began reviewing a new franchise bill in April, potentially impacting dealer and factory competition, spinoffs and affiliates/warranty reimbursements.

The bill, according to AutoWarrantyReviews.com representatives, incorporates a series of provisions designed to enhance California’s franchise laws – particularly regarding what the Assembly Transportation Committee calls “inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers.” Further, there are specially-contained provisions that could be viewed as responses to actions in recent years by Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Hyundai/Genesis and Volvo and its Lynk & CO affiliate.

Research and analysis by Auto Warranty Reviews.com personnel discovered that this bill prepares a process for determining warranty work based on retail rates for labor and parts, and also defines how the factory can respond to a request for retail rates – including a timeline and notification guidelines. Additionally, representatives of the online warranty reviews and ratings portal found that it establishes protections for dealers pursuing this newly-established retail reimbursement-on-warranty process from “adverse actions and penalties from the automaker,” some of which include assessing surcharges, limiting vehicle or parts allocations and conducting audits.

AutoWarrantyReviews.com makes sure shoppers for extended car warranty plans are never taken advantage of by offering ratings and reviews based on a series of factors including annual renewal rates, availability, best prices, roadside assistance, repair deductibles and promotions, all of which are designed to help shoppers obtain important information about auto warranty companies prior to making a final decision.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's most powerful aide — dubbed "Boris' brain" by some — is an enigmatic backstage operator who shuns media attention, yet has been played onscreen by "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch. Since taking office two months ago, Johnson has made a series of bold moves: Promising Brexit "do or die," dealing ruthlessly with party rebels and controversially suspending Parliament.

NEW YORK — Sam Smith has declared the pronouns of "they/them" on social media after coming out as non-binary in what the pop star called a "lifetime of being at war with my gender."

LONDON — Soccer star Eni Aluko has condemned Amazon for not removing racist reviews of her memoir posted on the online retailer's web site.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Antonio Brown is said to be eligible to play against Miami. Whether he actually does after just three practices with the Patriots is still not clear.
